eBay Black Watch Review

[mbhandy]

Thanks KT,

Just keep getting endless spam that there's something wrong with my non-existant ebay account. Figure if I get that much without an account if I got active it would be a tidal wave.

So, it makes no sense to me that to ask a vendor a question I have to first do an elaborate sign up on ebay. Feel trapped into joining to ask a question. Just don't like that.

Ron I just got a email like you discribed and sent it off to ebay and their response is :

The letter I got said I had bought a phone and I need to verify or stop the order and to contact them. I looked like a paypal but the link was to something totally different.
needless to say I forwarded to paypal and deleated the message.

Most of those kind of email my spam filter stops from showing.

Back on topic I think I will see about the CAMERON TARTAN KILT seeing they list it in my size and hemming is not a problem.
